A week or so ago, Don Lee tried to generate some online discussion
here in csa2 about Shareware Solutions II. He posted:

As a Business Administration major, Don understands some of the many
problems those of us who create products for the Apple II face. One
of the major problems developers do encounter is that of advertising
and getting the word out to fellow Apple II owners.

To that end, Don posted the article asking for subscribers to tell the
world what they like (or hate) about Shareware Solutions II, and sure
enough, my absolute worst fear came true...not a single person on
csa2 responded. No one. Not a peep. Not even a flame.
